Default From what I've read, the 'Star Spec' comes to operating temp faster on the track which is ...

beneficial on lighter wt cars.

Default While doing research on tires, the Z1 came on seen. Tirerack had comparison...

...specs, the Z1 against the Yoko Neova and the RE-01R, with the Z1 just a 'smidge' off the Yoko, better in the wet category...for $100 less per tire. This was a no brainer. Yes, the tire is as good or better than the RE-01R or the Neova.

Default glad to hear about the comparision numbers

Then it is settled. I will use these tires next summer for my track set-up, and not worry about burning through the stock rubber as quickly anymore.

Now if I can just find the right set of 18" wheels, which is proving to be quite difficult.

Default Aftermarket rims have been an issue for me....the Avus look best on the b6, but heavy. :(

The Z1's...you'll like 'em for sure.
